Mission Valley Sciatica Treatment

We Can Help

When most people think of sciatica, pain in the leg comes to mind. As with most health conditions, however, there is a range of symptoms, along with various causes of sciatica.

Expert author and chiropractor Dr. Britton has the training and experience to identify the source of your sciatic pain to create an effective treatment plan for you.

The symptoms of sciatica include:

Burning

Low back pain

Numbness

Pain

Tingling

Weakness

Your symptoms may be localized to the buttocks area, or pain may travel down your leg all the way to your foot. It can occur on one or both sides of the body with varying intensity. You might also only feel symptoms in the foot or calf, so a proper diagnosis of the cause is vital to your recovery.

Locating the Root of Your Pain

The causes of sciatica vary, including pressure on the nerves that form or contribute to your sciatic nerve, a problem in your sacroiliac joint or an issue in the piriformis muscle, which runs on top of the sciatic nerve.
